Title: A demand for a retribution from the British LAF members
Post by: pocoloco on 24 December 2014, 12:00:45 PM
Hello,

some of you might remember this thread in which I wanted to rectify the wrong accusations directed towards our Winter Wonderland Finland, the true home of Father Christmas:

http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=51989.msg610709#msg610709

Well once again Finland might be facing wrongful, even malicious, accusations about ruining the Christmas, even from the whole world!

The current situation snow-wise here is quite delicate, even though some places do have enough snow for skiing and other wintery activities, only few places have managed to reach huge piles of snow and extreme cold weather, like -30C and such.

Now many of you wonder what do this all have to do with the British then and ruining the Christmas. Well, it might be that Santa and his sledge might not get airborn from places where there is very little or snow at all! What about the British then, I hear you still wonder. Well it seems that the current mild weather we have is from the British Isles or thereabouts, that's why... Or was it Northern Atlantic... Ermmm...

Anyhow, as for compensation for possibly ruinimg the Christmas of so many children and adults alike, I demand for retribution and thus call for dibs on Mason's OW terrain and minis, Jimbibbly's Samurai stuff, AndyM's Megacity project (do finish it before sending it), Scrivs' SCW items... I am still to finish the list but will send it shortly to British LAFers.

Thinking about it, this weather whatchamacallit has passed over some other European countries so some of you continental types might get a lis too  :D

In the meanwhile I wish You all and your families a jolly merry Christmas and prosperous New Year 2015!

I think we should charge you for bringing some variation to your weather  ;)

And you don't hear us complaining about a bit of cold coming in off some Polar Continental front.  Oh... wait...  lol

Merry Christmas folks!

No, you have it wrong, he has outsourced it all to the Amazon so he gets more time with SWMBO Klaus. It must be true, because all the parcels say that is where they come from.  lol

Ah, the mildness of Christmas... I blame it all on healthy eating! There would be more snow if only we stuck to a traditional gluten-rich diet.

Think I'll dash off and cut another slice of saffron bread to go with this fine mug of tea.

I'm in Canada, but planning a motorbike ride for Christmas day, the weather looking to be that nice. What a time to be alive.

Remember to pack your salt-fish, butter and Vinarterta. Just in case.

Retribution? Hah!

You Finnish types with your mild weather and elk chariots and strange unwholesome fish dishes have caused it to rain on Christmas day in the Kingdom of Oz.

We of the Southern Expanses prefer sun, sand and appalling games of beach cricket. And prawns, strangely. Lots of prawns. Nothing says Christmas in Oz more that a steaming plum pudding with hard sauce on a 100 degree (F) day.

Merry Christmas, one and all, including that Dickensian character in the corner.

Damn, that is some fine looking fin-fish.  :-*

Here is our chicken & chestnut stuffing for tonight's feast...

Chestnuts, sausage meat and home baked sourdough bread make this stuffing more of a savoury bread-pudding. Just the way I likes it.  :-*

snow at christmas, how old fashioned. 22o C today with narry a cloud in sight.
16 degrees here, bit cloudy - but it's NOT even summer :D

And we all know St Nick is a guy from the local band club mucking around in a half-baked fake sleigh towed around with a loudspeaker playing god-awfully loud metacarols.
Oh yeah, humbug too.

Happy Christmas all.  :D
